Trying To Find The Words

Luta's eyes filling with tears brought a gentle, sad smile to Resin's lips. The woman truly was a good wolf. A good friend. She would miss her. Luta gave her the sedative and Resin choked it down. Together, the pair of women waited until it began to settle in her system. Only then did Luta and her companion open the door. As Resin exited the cell and settled herself on a pile of furs beside the fireplace, the healer went upstairs to fetch her family.

Artorias was the first to rush down the stairs and into her embrace. When had he gotten so big? He looked like a young man now and Resin just couldn't believe that time had passed so quickly.

Moments later, Tamsyn and Gwyn came down the stairs. She noted the fearful look on the dark child's face and couldn't blame her for it. Resin simply offered her a soft smile. She would never force the girl to come near her. It had to be her choice. What was happening to Resin was a scary thing and what she'd done to their mother's face was even more frightening.

Rudyard rushed down the stairs and straight towards her, mashing his face against her cheek. The ashen fae sat on her haunches and wrapped her other foreleg around the mottled boy, pulling him into an embrace as well. He expressed his love and Resin chuckled softly. "I love you as well. All of you." Her golden gaze drifted upwards as Tika arrived, giving her a shy greeting.

Gently pushing the two boys back a bit, she settled down once more. "I'm sorry that I missed your birthdays," she began before motioning to the side of the room near the door. "For Tika, a mask and armor. For Rudyard, my clawed bracers. For Art, the sword he always wanted and for Gwyn..." she looked towards the dark face of her daughter. "I've had pallets and dividers commissioned for your infirmary."

Daphne was absent as was Grimshaw. It didn't sadden the woman. If they were meant to be there, then they would have been there. She addressed the children present once more. "I hope you like your gifts."
